Don’t miss our unboxing of the latest AoS releases! Today we have the new units, Warscroll Cards, and the new Battletome for the Stormcast Eternals!
So today we are checking out the incredible new units for the Stormcast Eternals, Warscroll Cards and the new Battletome that compiles all the previous Stormcast points and rules as well as tons of new rules.
First we will take a look at the Warscroll Cards. These Stormcast Eternals are the first army to get these new game aids from Games workshop. These cards were much larger than we expected and we were a little disappointed to see that there is no artwork on the cards. It almost seems like a waste of space with all the blank space.
The Battalions aren’t in here but it is all of the Warscrolls that have been released to date seem too be. There are also some punch our game markers than can be used for many different things.
The Vanguard Hunters box includes two sets of two separate sprues. These’s minis go together a very specific way allowing only a couple different poses and very few weapon options.
Gryph-Hounds come with six different miniatures on only four sprues. The miniatures go together in halves like we have seen in the past for cav mounts.
There are about 20 less pages of fluff in the new Stormcast Eternals Battletome than we saw in the previous book but they made up for this by adding all of the new models, units, warscrolls, new artifacts, prayers and a ton more content that we will go over further in our Tips & Tactics video next week.
Battletome: Stormcast Eternals: $40
A glorious vision of golden celestial light, a living embodiment of the God-King’s might, the Stormcast Eternals are messengers of vengeance armed with the might of stars. Once-mortal champions of Order forged by Sigmar into an astonishing fighting force, hurled down from the heavens to meet the forces of Chaos head-on, they wreak bloody revenge on the Dark Gods, the corruptors of the realms. Following the brutal battles of the All-gates, the Stormcast Eternals lead the forces of Order in reclaiming the lands of the Mortal Realms, leveraging the power of the heavens to smite the corruptions of Chaos that plague these territories.

Vanguard-Hunters: $60
Bold raiders and expert scouts, the Vanguard-Hunters are the elite infantry of the Vanguard Auxiliary Chambers. Battle-hardened veterans, they are experts at using the terrain to their advantage. Their daring guerilla raids necessitate constant movement – more than once has a thought-unassailable position been scaled and destroyed by a band of Vanguard-Hunters who have made themselves invisible during the madness of battle. Their weapons suit their role – heavy-bladed swords and short-hafted axes cut through brush, briar and flesh, and boltstorm pistols are easy to fire on the move.

They come with a host of details, appropriate to their constant movement and veteran status: 2 shock handaxes and 10 sets of boltstorm magazines to attach to their waists, as well as grappling hooks and satchels. 2 arms featuring reloading boltstorm pistols are included as an optional assembly.
2 models in the kit can hold an astral compass – perfect for nomadic guerilla warfare, this arcane device allows them to navigate impossible geometries with ease, and thus attack the enemy from angles they least expect.
